This place is easy to miss but thanks to L, she snapped pics and told me what to look for! We met for happy hour and the place was pretty empty. It was nice and clean. And the staff is super helpful and friendly. I got the chicken taquitos, they were crispy with guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. They were very good! I could have eaten other plate. I ordered the fish taco from the happy hour menu. OMG, must order and inhale! It was very good and not greasy! The server was so helpful to explain the menu and the food. What he suggested and his favorites. The buñuelo was so so good! Crispy, light, and yummy!

Only been there once so far, but as its right in the neighborhood Ill probably be back. The samosas were really good, the filling was very smooth and the crust just crunched perfectly with it. I also had the combo noodles salad which was nice but had a ton of cilantro so if youre not a fan be sure to ask them to leave it off. The menu is a little small, but it definitely has enough variety that I wont feel locked into eating the same thing over and over. I look forward to trying more of it.

Nice little bistro in the same complex as Kotetsu. Their lunch specials are reasonably priced and the service was super fast. Have tried their goat stew and chicken curry, both of them had good flavor and the goat in specific was juicy and tender. Their Biryani was different, it was good but nothing special. Yet to try their fish noodle soup, but I hear good things about it. Their Faluda was great, would definitely recommend it.

Wow, just wow. You wouldnt expect much looking at it from the outside (or the inside either I guess); this place is amazing though. Incredibly good food that is prepare fresh and quickly, flavorful but not overwhelming; light and refreshing but very filling. The perfect "hole in the wall" for a date night, or a place for the family. Highly recommend the fried banana for dessert :)

Every dish was great and felt on par with my mother in laws excellent cooking. We have tried the fish chowder, chicken curry soup, tea salad and the portion of Chicken and Shrimp Biryani. The last dish has a generous portion. Recommend them all. Very reasonable - great for lunch or casual dinner. Everything feels very authentic down to servers speaking Burmese.

Love it love it love it. Sparsely decorated small family owned and operated Burmese hut. The food, if you havent tried Burmese food yet is something like a blend of Thai, Chinese, and Indian foods. Its really good and they get busy, but its worth. A little bit pricey but ultimately a win. Pro tip tea leaf salad of course and chicken Kebat.

I love this Restaurant. OMG. I left San Jose and because their restaurant is so good, I was looking for a Burmese Restaurant everywhere in my city hoping I would get a chance to taste some of their delicacies. But luck wasnt on my side until about a week ago, the taste of their food is still in my head right now as Im writing this. Lol

National dish soup and salad, cant remember the price, but I want to say no more than $15. Overall it was super good. Would definitely get this again. Tea Leaf Salad - great mix of flavors and textures. Definitely liked that they brought it for us un-mixed and mixed it in front of us. Tasted very fresh and yummy! Delicious!

We have been going here since it first opened and have always lived the meals. We are big fans of Burma Superstar, so it was exciting to have a Burmese option closer to SJ. Tea Leaf salad is always a must get, but we always change up the main courses and share (tapas style) and everything has been delicious!

Cozy place run by friendly folks. Not much to say about the decor but the food was great! The tea salad was refreshing and unique, and chicken curry was thick and flavorful. Definitely worthwhile, especially if youre looking for something new to try.

Smallish place. Excellent food, very good service. The coconut chicken noodle soup is a go-to for me when Im feeling sick. My wife really likes their fish soup. The rest of the menu looks good but Im ashamed to admit that I havent tried it.

Over priced and under served for the amount they give you. The biryani is not the best. Ive had really really good biryani And for $16, I couldve gotten a whole lot more elsewhere. The waitress was cute tho! Lol

Was here for dinner on a Friday. Food was good, and location is very convenient. But one thing that bothered me a lot was how noisy this place is. It almost felt like a cafeteria. Perhaps its just too crowded...

Good options to choose. Enormous vegetarian choices. The tea salad is the best. Potion size is slightly small but its cheap. Good and fast service. A must try if you have never tried Burmese food

Visited this place with my office team. They accepted our reservation. The service was on time. We customized many things for vegetarian and they were accommodating. The service was good.

The tea leaf salad is amazing! Very friendly staff. We had the combo noodle salad and the mango shrimp which were both delicious. The crispy chicken wasnt my favorite...

Loved the Thai leaf salad, and the tendon beef soup. Nice and friendly staff, quick service and left feeling satisfied. Ignore the Yelp snobs who say otherwise.

Amazing food with really good vegetairan options. The coconut water was not so great and should be avoided. Everything else that we tried was really tasty.

The people here are really nice. Always gotta get the Tea Leaf Salad. My bf enjoys the Beef Kabat very much. A little small, but flavor is great.

I tried tea leaf salad and sesame beef both were tasty. Portions are large and price is reasonable. Service is friendly and welcoming.

Its OK but nothing stands out. Id go back there for the tea leaf salad because its hard to find, but wasnt excited about the rest.

Pretty good food. Took off a star because the service was very slow. Seemed like it was a family running it.
